storage

[madstockbro]

has anyone got any recommendations for the best heavy duty storage boxes there are for throwing stuff neatly in and out of the van? the plastic ones always break and dont want to spend a bomb either. wondering what you use to keep organised in the best way? forever losing small items!

Which plastic ones have you been using? Euro crates are pretty tough and stack together well.

 

Most of my stuff's in bags though to be honest, easier to handle once it's out of the van but quite expensive to get going.

I got two old kango boxes off a friend that owns a hire co.

older metal ones, I gutted the framework for holding the tool and bits out of them and I've been using them for all sorts since. They're strong, lockable and have a carry handle, but not stackable.

Useless for ropes but great for tools, pulleys, spares and long enough to take a couple of 24 inch bars.

i use one of these for bits. Well handy for climbing kit

Crates from a large Uk supermarket. Heavy duty. Stackable. The holes means air circulates so your gear gets air. 
 

they even do two sizes. We keep all carabiners and slings in the small ones, then a full climbing kit, harness, ropes lanyards etc in another for each of the team. Works great. You can see all your gear at a glance and don’t have to go rummaging through bags looking for things. 
 

every little helps.

I've been using these for about three years. Stack and lock together ang the cases are waterproof. I think I got them from B&Q.

We have around 50 of these on our farm and use them for all kinds of storage. They’re super tough, heavy duty and practically indestructible, been using them for years and of all the crates we use, they are the most useful -

I use tote boxes with lids. They are nylon and pretty tough. Got 10 of them off eBay for £75 secondhand

...pretty good deal and most of my workshop is in them now and neatly stored on heavy duty racking.

They are from Alibert and look like this: -
